Slide Show / Blue Flashing Light Songtext
von Travis

Today is the day
For dancing and for singing
The birds in the trees
And all the bells are ringing
The sun is in the sky
Is bright as bright second sight
Is bright, oh god, I hope I′m alright
'Cause I′m gonna cry

But hold on, hold on
Slow down, slow down
You're out of touch
Out of touch


'Cause there is no design for life
There′s no devil′s haircut in my mind
There is not a wonderwall
To climb or step around
But there is a slide show and it's so slow
Flashing through my mind
Today was the day
But only for the first time

There is no design for life
There is no devil′s haircut in your mind
There is not a wonderwall
To climb or step around
But there is a slide show and it's so slow
Flashing through my mind
Today was the day
But only for the first time
I hope it′s not the last time, oh

Saturday evening
Saturday evening a quarter to five
I would see him arrive at the door
Pushed you aside as he staggered inside
Spitting alcohol over the floor
A storm is abrew and it's sure to fall soon
As I look at you from the shore


So you better hold on
Cause it′s saturday night
And your friends are all out
And you feel like shit
Cause they never call you
No, they never call you
No, they never call, never call, never bloody ever

Call me a name and I'll hit you again
You're a slut, you′re a bitch, you′re a whore
Talk to your daddy in that tone of voice
There's a belt hanging over the door
So you run to your room and you hide in your room
Thinking how you can settle the score

But it′s saturday night and a quarter to six
And your friends are all out
But you live in the sticks
Still they never call you
No, they never call you
No, they never call, never call, never bloody ever call

Blue flashing light, last saturday night
Brought the neighbours all out on the street
We watched as the firemen carried you out
Then we stared at each other's feet
Now everyone sees and yet nobody says
Are we all just afraid of the heat?

But it′s saturday night, and I'm lying alone
In the bed that I made, disconnected the phone
Still they never called you
No, they never called you
No, they never call, never call, never bloody ever call
Never bloody ever
Never do
Never do
